Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus 8-Core Chipset Specs Leaked: Key Features, Performance, and Pricing Revealed

Qualcomm Snapdragon X series comes in two main variants – the standard X Plus and the top-end model, which is dubbed as Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite. The X Plus family includes a 10-core Oryon CPU, while the X Elite is meant for more niche use cases that might need even higher core count configurations of up to 12 cores. IFA Berlin is set to take place soon, so it shouldn’t surprise that popular tipster Evan Blass hints at an 8-core version of the X Plus chip for upcoming laptops. The new SKU is a cut-down variant of the base X Plus and will be priced at around $800 in CoPilot+ laptops with an 8-core Oryon CPU.
